Are Mastodon users really happy with thread behavior? So, for example, this post had a lot of replies, but even if you look at it on the original instance you can't see any of them. You can see my reply to the post on my server, but it is no longer connected to the original post. So it is often impossible to read old threads (& of course even to see all replies on a current one).
But also: I know why the other frustrating thread behavior happens (that you often can't see all the replies to a thread because no one on your instance is following another instance, etc.). I don't know why this one happens? Why would a response become detached from a thread?
[…] ISRAELISM uniquely explores how #Jewish attitudes towards #Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and for #Judaism itself.
[…] Zimmermann is part of a growing trend of young American Jews who are no longer satisfied with the one-sided narrative marketed to them in Jewish communities, Jewish schools, youth movements, and Birthright trips, but are starting to examine it critically, shaking off the automatic identification of #Judaism with loving Israel, and taking action against the occupation and for Palestinian rights.
[…] In debates with Palestinian students, Zimmermann recounts in the film, she felt again and again at a loss. "I remember there were Palestinian students who stood up and said: 'You cry over being silenced and marginalized, but my uncles and cousins couldn't sleep for weeks when bombs fell over their heads in #Gaza,'" she says. "I was thrown into these conversations where people used words I had never encountered: 'occupation,' 'settlements,' '#apartheid,' and 'ethnic cleansing.' I always thought I knew so much about Israel, but suddenly when they mentioned all these words, I didn't understand what they were talking about. I felt embarrassed that we couldn't respond to their claims. Do we not have any successful counterarguments besides 'double standards' and 'antisemitism'? This really troubled me."

Amazon isn’t doing this, their sellers are. What this shows is how full Amazon’s product listings are with counterfeits sold by lazy scammers from China. Don’t trust Amazon for anything.
My theory is that the edges of trees are actually invisible to us, so they are touching (on both ends, obvs), but not in a way we can see. What they are not doing is fighting each other for the light. They are optimizing and cooperating. https://toot.lgbt/@book/111749320285900616
Friends I still can't find a safe home, I have had to go to a local shelter to be safe, but I am having a very bad time here since there are many people who hate transgender people and I have had many problems, please could you help me ?
Call for papers - ‘Intersectional and Critical #ADHD Thought: ADHDers Think Back’, for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies. [ETA: The abstract deadline has been EXTENDED till 25th Feb 2024.] The editors are seeking critical intersectional papers that “‘think back’, explicitly or implicitly, against medical and denialist models of ADHD.”
“At this point, it is fair to conclude that ADHD Studies is an acritical and non intersectional field, produced by non-ADHDers. What we need is critical and intersectional ADHD knowledge produced by ADHDers themselves.”
Submissions are welcomed from academics, PhD students and activists. See the CfP for a great list of topics, from “Trans-ing while ADHD-ing: questions for intersectional justice,” to critical approaches to ADHD and religious faith.
@EVDHmn@theADHDAcademic@actuallyautistic Can I ask you to field questions to the organisers? I just shared to spread the word. I don’t know anything about the project beyond having heard it’s happening
I was just talking to my partner who is adhd as well fmg grad..tech writer…we have learned so much from the community.
Hopefully we can attain some workable solutions as a team that understands some of the hurdles, perhaps help contribure to pave the way to an inclusive diverse landscape!
Either way it should be a fun project!
@itchi5 Depends on your country, the laws and what happens exactly. If you have a publisher, normally it's their work to instruct a lawyer. Large publishing houses even have their department for this.
Even if you have published the print at your own expense, you will not be able to avoid a lawyer. Professional organisations can sometimes help with the costs.
Perhaps @writers or @law can help you more.
I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.
So I ended up cleaning that cupboard & sorting pots and pans (not really what I planned to do today). And I have loads. Some from the bottom and back are really dirty & need a thorough clean.
I will have to decide which should go for keeping in the basement. For a single person the amount is ridicules & I’ve not even got to the lids on the top shelf 😱 @cooking
Sounds delicious. I love cooking large portions and freezing later. One of my favorites is kinda a bastard chicken cacciatore I got from food network ages ago, some fireman cooked it for all his buddies in the firehouse. So, huge portions if you follow the recipe as-written, which I don’t recommend unless you know a lot of firemen or something.
